Something like this is very useful when I open up a PDF viewer from my
editor (Vim of course). I'd like to have one mapping that opens a PDF
(if it's not already open) and then syncs to the current location.
However, this functionality can be trivially added with a little
scripting. See here:

PS: Thanks a ton for implementing forward searches. I finally was able
to abandon Xdvi, and now do everything with PDF files.
